Traditions and Symbology of Saint
Patrick's day.
Tradiciones y Simbología del día de Saint Patrick's day
On 17 March many cities in the English-speaking world dress in green to celebrate the feast of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. We will see some of the symbols and traditions of this beautiful island homage to Ireland and to all the Irish wherever they live.
El 17 de Marzo muchas ciudades del mundo anglosajón se
visten de verde para celebrar la festividad de San Patricio, patrón
de Irlanda.Veremos algunos de los símbolos y tradiciones de esta preciosa isla
homenaje a Irlanda y a todos los irlandeses donde quiera que
vivan.
Shamrocks
Shamrocks are an important part of the symbology attached to St. Patrick. Legend has it that St. Patrick, to convert Catholic Celtic pagan polytheists, took one of the clovers that abounded in the island and pointing out the three leaves of the plant I explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity: a plant with three leaves that It completes, like the Trinity, one God with three people, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
But the ancient Celtic Druids already considered the clover a sacred plant for its triad of leaves, since for them the 3 was a mystical number. During the 19th century, in the rebellion of the Irish against the English, the clover became a hallmark of Irish pride and acquired a strong political and social significance to the point that "wearing o'the green" became A fact punishable by law. Today both the use of green color and the use of clovers on this holiday not only form the claim of Irish identity but is a form of homage to the Emerald Isle.
Los shamrocks o tréboles son una
parte importante de la simbología unida a San Patricio. Cuenta la
leyenda que San Patricio, para convertir al catolicismo a los
paganos politeístas celtas, cogió uno de los tréboles que abundaban en la isla
y señalando las tres hojas de la planta les explico el misterio de la Santísima
Trinidad: una planta con tres hojas que la completan, igual que
la Trinidad, un solo Dios con tres personas, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu
Santo.
Pero ya los
antiguos druidas celtas consideraban al trébol una planta sagrada por su triada
de hojas, ya que para ellos el 3 era un número místico.
Durante el siglo XIX, en la rebelión de los irlandeses
contra los ingleses, el trébol se convirtió en una seña de identidad del
orgullo irlandés y adquirió un fuerte significado político y social hasta el
punto de que “wearing o’the green” se convirtió en un
hecho castigado por la ley.
Hoy en día
tanto el uso del color verde como el uso de tréboles en esta festividad no sólo
forman de la reivindicación de la identidad irlandesa sino que es una forma de
homenaje a la Isla Esmeralda .
The Lucky Leprechauns
The elves are small beings no more than three feet tall, of a reserved, surly and solitary character, which are some of the Irish symbols par excellence.
Shoemakers ofprofession, always dressed in green with a striking hat and two gold coins tightly grasped in their hands. In one hand they carry a magic coin that, although worn, always reappears in the palm of the hand, the other coin becomes ashes when worn. The choice of goblins as Irish symbol is that they were considered as the guardians of the treasures of the Fairies. Leprechauns hide a large pot full of gold at the end of the rainbow, constantly changing it to avoid being discovered. Tradition says that if you see one of these green elves do not lose sight of them so we will find the treasure at the end of the rainbow.

Los duendes son pequeños seres de no más de tres pies
de alto, de carácter reservado, hosco y solitario, que son unos de los símbolos
irlandeses por excelencia.
Zapateros de profesión, van siempre vestidos de verde con un
llamativo sombrero y con dos monedas de oro fuertemente agarradas en sus manos.
En una mano llevan una moneda mágica que aunque se gaste siempre vuelve a
aparecer en la palma de la mano, la otra moneda se convierte en cenizas al ser
gastada.

La elección de los duendes como símbolo irlandés es
que ellos eran considerados como los guardianes de los tesoros de las Hadas.
Los Leprechauns esconden una gran olla llena de oro al final del
arco iris, cambiándola de arco iris constantemente para evitar que sea
descubierta.
La tradición
dice que si se ve a uno de estos duendes verdes no hay que perderlos de vista pues
así encontraremos el tesoro al final del arco iris.
Wearing of the Green
Dressing in green is a tradition that represents that a person has Irish ancestors, or is simply done as a tribute to Ireland and its culture.

Festivals and Parades
The St. Patrick's Day is celebrated with spectacular parades and festivals where the green color invades cities like New York or Chicago, honoring the Irish blood that runs through the veins of many Americans. The first parade was celebrated in 1776 in New York, and still remains today the most spectacular parade of this celebration.
Curiously it was not until 1995 that the first parade was held in Dublin, and indeed the reason for this Dublin festival was to attract tourism to the city.

Erin Go Bragh
This saying is heard throughout St. Patrick's Day .
This saying is heard throughout St. Patrick's Day .
St. Patrick was a
gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health;
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good St. Patrick
And see all those snakes again!
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health;
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good St. Patrick
And see all those snakes again!

Five little leprechauns
scurrying by my door,
One jumped away, then there were four.
Four little leprechauns climbing in my tree,
One hid in the green leaves, then there were three.
Three little leprechauns, just a busy few,
One went for a pot of gold, then there were two.
Two little leprechauns, having lots of fun,
One hopped over the rainbow, then there was one.
One little leprechaun, with all his work done.
He slipped off for a nap, then there were none.

I'm A Leprechaun
Quick Or I'll Be Gone,
Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
I'm A Leprechaun,
When I Was A Boy More Than Once I Was Told,
All About A Leprechaun And His Crock Of Gold,
With Golden Sovereigns And More Than This,
If You Could Catch A Leprechaun He'd Grant You A Wish,
But Catching This Little Lad Was Very Hard I Fear,
For Whenever He Was Seen He Would Alway's Disappear,
Ahh Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
Quick Or I'll Be Gone,
Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
I'm A Leprechaun,
Now You Can Say I Was Drunk Or You Can Call Me A Liar,
But One Night In The Woods Yes I Saw A Fire,
And I Thought I'd Go Closer And Have a Peek,
So Through The Woods I Started To Creep,
And To My Surprise Around the Fire All Dancing In a Ring,
Were A Score Of Little Leprechauns And I Could Hear Em Sing,
Ahh Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
Quick Or I'll Be Gone,
Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
I'm A Leprechaun,
So I Thought I'd Wait Until They'd Finished Their Fun,
And Then They'd All Go To Sleep And Maybe I Could Catch Me One,
All Tired From Dancing They Lay Down On A Log,
So I Caught One Tight And He Turned Into A Frog,
All Wet And Slippery From Me Hands He Did Spring,
And He Hopped to The Woods And I Could Hear The Rascal Sing,
Ahh Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
Quick Or I'll Be Gone,
Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
I'm A Leprechaun,
Ahh Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
Quick Or I'll Be Gone,
Fiddledy Diddledy Catch And Griddle Me,
I'm A Leprechaun,
